Millions suffer from the poor health conditions that are directly related to imbalances in the intestinal tract, a condition known as dysbiosis. This condition is caused over time by negative impacts on a person such as stress, antibiotics, sugar or carbohydrate intake, mercury from so-called “silver” dental fillings, steroids, overuse of certain medications and antacids and hormonal imbalances. Dysbiosis refers to a condition with bacterial or fungal imbalances (candida) on or inside the body. Dysbiosis is most prominent in the digestive tract (often referred to as the gut) or on the skin, but also can occur on any exposed surface or mucous membrane such as the vagina, lungs, mouth, nose, sinuses, ears, nails or eyes. When the natural yeast or fungi found in the body grows out of control, it can result in a condition called Candidiasis, an infection caused by a species of Candida fungi, especially Candida albicans. Gut dysbiosis and Candidiasis can lead to changes in the lining of the bowel that increases the permeability of the intestine, resulting in leaky gut syndrome. Leaky gut then has been associated with many different illnesses/conditions:
• Gas, Bloating, Constipation, Diarrhea
• Weight Gain
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
• Autoimmune Disease
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome
• Inflammatory Joint Disease / Arthritis
• Edema / Water Retention
• Fibromyalgia
• Food Allergies / Sensitivities
• Environmental Illness
• Weak Immune System
• Brain Fog / Headaches
• Allergies / Hives
• Adrenal Fatigue
• Ulcerative Colitis
• Celiac / Crohn’s Disease
• Eczema / Psoriasis
• Liver Dysfunction
TAKING ACTION To Reverse These Conditions & Soothe Your Gut Distress
I have treated over 2,000 patients with Gut Dysbiosis, Leaky Gut, Candidiasis and other gastrointestinal issues, and it truly is rewarding to see their lives improve! Recovery usually takes between three and six months to reach maximum improvement. However, all along the way people note improved stamina, slimming bodies, better mental and emotional functioning, fewer muscle aches, a renewed appreciation of life and many more benefits.
After physician evaluation, an initial first step is a comprehensive stool test analysed by Doctor’s Data, a globally respected independent laboratory that performs specialized testing. Important: BLOOD TESTING WILL NOT REVEAL THIS INTESTINAL IMBALANCE!
Rather than using toxic and suppressive drugs to address issues highlighted by the stool analysis, our philosophy at Advanced Natural Medicine is to rebalance the intestinal tract using natural mechanisms. If you feel you may have gut dysbiosis, candidiasis, leaky gut or other intestinal issues, please call us at 561-744-2724 for an appointment.
Chelation Improves Circulation & Removes Heavy Metals
For over 50 years EDTA Chelation Therapy has served as a highly effective and safe intravenous treatment for:
• Memory Problems or “Brain Fog”
• Heart Disease & Hypertension
• Alzheimer’s Disease & Dementia
• Heavy Metal Toxicity
• Autoimmune Disorders
• Poor Circulation / Cold Hands & Feet
• Angina & Chest Pains
• Leg Cramps
• Slow-Healing Sores
• Shortness of Breath
• Low Energy
This therapy recently was proven clinically effective and safe following the 7-year Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy funded by the National Institutes of Health and performed at 134 research sites in the United States and Canada, including the Mayo Clinic, NYU School of Medicine, Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine and Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami. Among the results were that diabetics showed a remarkable 38% improvement over placebo.
This important anti-aging therapy has helped restore healthy function and quality of life to our patients, many of whom have been able to prevent the need for painful and costly surgeries or to rely on prescription medications.
“I couldn’t dance or swim without chest pain. Now I can dance all night and swim 45 minutes after just 4 chelations!“ — Jackie Woolfe, Jupiter
“For 10 years my arthritis was bad and getting worse. After chelation my arms, shoulders and hands are loose and I have feeling in them again…I can walk without pain for the first time in years.” R. Cunningham, Ft. Lauderdale
